Replying to Threads without reviewing posted information

I have noticed a lot of people replying to threads and commenting or asking questions that would be answered if they actually read the posted articles or watched the posted videos. Please do not reply to a thread unless you have reviewed the posted information. I have noticed a lot of people wasting space by not taking the time to actually review the information posted and leaving irrelevant/ignorant comments. Maybe the ATS management could send out a message encouraging people to review all the information before commenting.

guilty as charged... i litrely just committed said crime about 10 minutes ago!

mainly as i saw the avatar, and knew its someone who spends time claiming to be an alien and using that every annoying "holyer than thee" troll tactic...

if it annoys you when people dont do that, press the warn / report button ... thats what its their for! theirs no need to go starting a whole topic about it ... if we read everything in every post well,,,, it wouldnt be one of the biggest forums about .... as we would all still be stuck at page 1 reading every detail..

now, im not saying F-the info ... of course, if its relevant and ect read, but after a while on ats, you can see when somethings just a troll or going to be stupid... call it long time ats user intuition!

@HotSauce ...yup, no star system on the board question forum .... i hate that!..... im still preying they bring in an anti star or karma function, after all... we shoudl be able to give people a black mark as much as a good mark

I've noticed that many times after I post, several other answers have been posted in the time it's taken me to write mine. And in some cases, what I'm commenting on has been said by others too.

Please direct any futher ATS issues to the ATS Issues Thread
